About the Club
The purpose of the Camera Club of Laguna Hills is to promote and advance the art of photography.
To do this, we hold the following periodic evaluations:
- Digital Evaluations with non-Club member judges
- Print Critiques with non-Club member judges
- A Slide Show Competition where the audience votes to determine the top three

Meetings
We meet twice a month, on the 2nd and 4th Mondays at Club House 3. One meeting is a digital image slide show presentation, and the other is a digital image critique by a professional judge or a speaker. These meetings are a good place to learn about photography and are free to Camera Club members or $2.00 fee for non-member guests. On the second Tuesday of each month we present a Photography Workshop in the Photography Classroom at Clubhouse 4; a donation of $3.00 is suggested for these workshops. We also have annual dinners where awards are presented for prints and digital images; high point aggregate totals from the digital and print critiques for the past year are also presented awards.
End of Year Competition and Awards
At the end of the year, we hold a competition with three judges to select the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each category for prints and digital images and present awards to those winners. We learn a lot from the judges' comments on how to improve our photographs.
Aggregate totals are also calculated for each presenter in digital image and print critiques for the entire year and 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners in each category are presented awards.

Training
The Camera Club also provides training:
